in what i can only hope is a move that gets copied by other conferences. the north texas conference has bought into buying green energy generated by windmills.
In an apparently unprecedented move for a large religious group, United Methodist churches of North Texas have joined forces to buy "green" electricity generated by windmills in the western part of the state.
The contract negotiated by the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church takes effect on New Year's Day and covers 180 churches.
Environmentalists say they're unaware of another conference, diocese, synod or any other body of churches that has used its economic clout to spur nonpolluting electricity production.
it wouldn't be hard for my conference to switch. instead we probably still destroy the environment which is, i think, against our social principles.
